por Itis.said that Government has
30,000 horses more than it, knows
what to do with. These horses are
now being placed out to feed over
winter at the rate of 40 .cents per
day, per head, Has the goveenthent
. yet made a calculation what - this sin
gle item 'for ',keeping these 30,000 will
amount to? If not we call its atten
tion to it, and 'if .it should not have
time:to takes-the subject into consid
eration,let it
.at least glance at our
•figures. We will assume the feeding
•to continue 120 days, which would
amount to $4B per head. Hence the
keeping of the 30,000 horses over win
ter at 648 per head, wilt amount, to
:the enormous sum of one million, four
hunitrett , and forty thou,sand , dollars !
Can the govounmont, and through it
the people, stand such enormous leaks
This is but a trifling one compared
with many . others. Could any gov
ernment and peoplo, no matter how
wealthy, .stand it? • Thitiliorse opera
tion should be stopped. ; It is said
that these 30,000 horses:are:in excess
of what the government can poesibly
use next spring. It is also said that
the horses are not Worth on an aver
.age $2O per head, while the feeding
-will , cost $4B. In disregard .of the
enormous first cost of the horses, the
way of economy seems to be plain,—
to sell
.them at , onco, at any pilee,
rather than keep them over , winter,
anti perhaps .for „years, without :any
use for them.. -
We-are for 'the energetic and deter
mined prosecution of the war; to
crush 'out rebellion and vindicate our

the cost, so far as faithfully, usefully
and honestly incurred, but if the peo

FICTITIOUS WINES
Even in the wine-growing countries
no man can be sure that there is any
grape juice in hathe drinks under
the name of wine. lore the proba
bilities are all against the genuine.
110$S of everything called wine. An
English paper, speaking of the man.
ufaature and adulteration of wines in
France, says
All is false in the wines—the color,.
the strength, the flavor, the age, even
the name under which they are sold.
There are wines which do not contain
a drop of grape-juice. Even science is
impotent to. dietinguish the true from
the false, so complete is the imitation.
You may .every day see advertised
in the French newspaper the "Seve de
Medoc," of which a small flacon, cost.
ing three.francs, is Aeclaredlaufficient
to giveiflavor to 600 litres. Paris and
Cette are the principal seats . of this
fraudulent adulteration. It is .prac
ticed in bo.h places on the most col.
lease! -scale: Certainly half of the
Pavia population drink, -under the
name of wine, a mixture in which
there-ia not a drop of grape juice.—
The police are unable to preVent this
adulteration, but the laws punish it
with great adverity;•every week do the
papers publish judgments against wine .
Merchants and grocers,' in 'execution
of which their wines, 20;30, 80 hogs
heads at once, are poured into gutters.
But this-dishonest art, is now so per.
feet that even clever 7ohemists can
with difficulty diStinguis% Alike true'
wine frorn , the false. Such was the
case in a very recent trial. The-chem. :
!kilt, alter reporting all the ingredients
the wine was composed of, observed
that if one of theta were in less quanti
ty, he would have been; unable' to
dietinguish frOm the natural wine.—
The prosecuted wine merchant, who
Otis present, listened attentively
to •the chemist's report, and at last
asked 'him Which ingredient it was.
The chemist very ilnprudently told
-him, and the accused-immediately an-
Iswered ; am very much obliged,

AN IMMENSE TREASURE ' Sronv.—The
stories which , come to us from - the Pacific
respecting the new mineral discoveriei
seem almost fabulous. The latest rather
staggers even the Californians. The Sit
ver Age, a paper published in Nevada ter
ritory, asks us to,believe that three millions
of bullion .are taken monthly from the
mines of that new colbriy. 'The export
of gold froth San Fransisco this year will
foot up abbut $42,000,000, yet the Age
asserts that S3600;000 will be the aggre
itt4e taken oat of the mines of Nevada in
that .perkxl. A irecent issue of the Sacra;
meat° Union, estimated the mineral Tiro
duct of Nevada to equalthat of California,
and we have seen another statement which
,estimates the miners atthe same number.
if there, be`any truth in this, a large per
tionrof the $42,0p0,000 shipped from. San
Francisco mu t have come from Nevada.
Very much of the gold and silver min
ed there doubtless remains for circulation
or is, hoarded up by miners, hankers, mill
owners, tradesmen and others, while much
more of it : is se,nt.to California, in payment
of mill machinery, merchandise, provis
ions, the Whole community peing in
process qfconstructing homes, roads, mills,
Sr,c. The breadstuffs and provisions are
all the products of California', and the ma
chinery is made there. it is not to be ex
pected, therefore that the treasures raised
from the ;mines of i Nevada would increase
the „exportafipn immediately, .although 'it
will gradually. Nevada is in debt to Cali
for.nia iforeverything, and this debt must go
on increasing and the treasure be sent ,to
pay for. it. L the merchants of California
increase, their orders upon us to meet this
new demand ? the export of bullion of
course augments to meet it. Still with
all these allowances, the story told by the
Silver Age is fir odigious, and if true,
shows what a vast new field is now open

ing for aar enterprise.

.General Dix has ordered 4.1000 of =his•
troops from Baltimore to march into and
locate themselves in Accomac and North
ampton counties, Va. He had previously
issued a most important proclamation,
stating that;the object of the advance of
his troops is to maintain , the authority of

restore .commerce to its original ehannel ;
that no one held to service under thelaw,s

that unless resistance is offered no fire

'he news from the Eastern share of

of General Dix and the distribution of his
proclamation appears to, give almost gen

nomber, have disbanded, and the Union
men have gained courage. The "Sars

The Richmond papers of Wedues

s:we of •'Jeff.' Ds.vis the.rebel
Con
gress. After the usual con'grattila
tions, he says :
"That the. operations of the 'army,
soonto o be .partially , interrupted by
the appifoaching winter, have afforded
a proton to the country, and shed
a lustre upon its arms through the
trying vicissitudes of more than one
arduous campaign, Which entitle our
brave voltinteers to our praise and
our gratitude."
Further on he says :
"After more than eeven months of
war, the enemy have not only failed
to extend their occupancy of our soil,
but now States and Territories have
been added to our Confederacy; while
instead of their threatening march of
unchecked conquest they have been
driven at more than one point to as
sume the defensive, and upon a fair
comparison between the two belliger
ents as to men, military means and
financial condition, the Confederates
are relatively much stronger now
than when the struggle commenced."
He speaks in high terms of the peo
ple of Missouri, who have condueted
the war in the face of almost •anpar
alleled .dlfficulties, with a spirit and
success alike worthy of themselves
and of the great cause in which they
are struggling.
"Finding that the Confederate States'
were about- to be invaded through
Kentucky, and that her people, after
being driven into -a mistaken security,
were unarmed and in danger of being
subjugated by the Federal forces, our
armies were marched into that State .
to repel the enemy and prevent their
occupation of certain strategic points,
which would have given them great
advantages in the -contest—a step
which was justified,:not -wily 'by the
necessities of self-defence•on the part
' of the Confederate States, but also by
a desire to aid the people Of Ken
tucky."
was never intended by the Con
'fsderate States to 'conquer or coerce
that:State, but on theeontrary it was
declared by our Geherals that they
would Withdraw their troops if the
Federal Govermneut would- do like
wise. A •prodlamation was'also made
of 'the 'desire to respect the neutrality
of- Kentucky, _and the intention to
abide 'by the wishes.of her people as
soon as they were free to epress
their opinions. These dereleratione
were approved by me, .and I . should
regard it 48 one ef the hest effects of
the 'march -Of our troops into Ken
tucky if it should end. in giving to
her people liberty of choice and 'a
free opportunity to decide their own
&stilly according to their own will.
"While," .he says, ."Tho- army bm

He speaks of the difficulties attend
ing mail trail sportation, sothe of which
can be overcome Only by- tithe andthe
improved condition Of the country, on
the restoration of pehee, but Others
by Ingialation. •
. "As to the financial systerh, it bee
worked well so fatr, ertnrproinises veld

that treaUbsT litotes may .be . issued:L—

row money vit)bant interest; and thus
facilitate the conduct• of the war.—
The - extent is =measured' by the _por
tion of the field Cf circulation which
these notes can Ire made to occupy.-=--•
The proportion of the field thus oc
cupied, "depends again upon the a
mount of the debts 'for which they
are-receivable, and when 'dee, not-on
ly to the Conederate. and State Gov
orhments, but also to corporations
and individuals, are payable in this
medism. A limoe amount of it may
be circulated at par. There is every
reason to belieire that the Confederate
treasury note is fast becoming such
a mediarti.
"The , provision that these notes
shall be convertible into Confederate
stock bearing 8 per cent. interest at
the pleasure of the holder insures
them against a depreciation below
the value of that stock, and no con.
siderable fail in the value need be
feared, eo -long as the interest shall
'be punctually paid.' The punctual
payment of this interest has been
secured by the act passed by you at
the last session, imposing, such a rate
of taxation as must provide safficient
means for that purpose.
"For the stoceetiful Fosecuttion cif
this war it is indispensable that the
means 4 transporting troopirand mil
itary supplieslte'furnished i as far as
possible, in such manner as not to in
terrupt the commercial intercourse
between our people, nor place a check
upon their productive energies."
In another part of the message he
says : "We have already two main
lines of through transportation from
the North to the South—one frem
Richmond along the sea-board, and
the other threugh Westem Virginia
to New i3Wleaffs. A. thrill might be
secured by completing a link of fOr
ty miles between Danville, in Virgin
ia, and Greenborough, in North Car
olina. The construction of this coin.
paratively short link would give us a
through route from North to South,
in the interior of the Confederate
States, and give us access to a popu
lation, and to many recartirces from
which we are now in a great MOII,B
- debarred.
"If," he says further en, "We hue.
band our means and make ajadinions
use of our resources, it would be dif
ficult to fix a limit to the period du
ring which we conduct a war against
the adversary whom. we nolkt encoun
ter The very efforts which be makes
to isolate and invade us must exhaust
his means, whilst they serve to, COM
pieta the °itch!, anddiversify the pm ,
duetions of our industrial system.-L--
The reconstruction,-whichhe seeks Os
effeet by arm*, boacivaps daily 'more
and more impgssible- Not orIV do
the causes which induced ins tese.per
ate still exist in full force, but They
have strengthened and whatever
doubt may re *uproot i ! it the Minds
of any must 'late , ' been , oninplettily
dispelled by subsequent events. If,
instead , of being a dissolution of a
league, it were indeed a rebellion in
which we are engaged, we must find
-ample vindication for the course we
'have--`adopted in the scenes which are
m ow , being enacted in the United
"States. Our people now look with
contemptuous astonishment on those
with whom they had been so recent
ly They shrink with a
version froM the bear idea of renew
ing such a connection," etc. "With
such a people we - may be content to
live at peace; but the separation is 'fi
nal, and for the independence we have
asserted, we will accept no alterna
tive."
President: Vivis:charaeterizes the
nature the: Kostilities on etlormert
of the United States, "as barbarous"
wherever it is understood. If they
convert their soldiers into incendia
ries and robbers, and involie us in a
species of war which claims non-com•
batants, women and children, as its vic
tims they must expect to Le-treated
as outlaws and enemies of mankind.
There are certain rights of humanity
which are, entitled to respect, even
in war,and he who refuses to regard
them fo rfeks his claim, if captured, to
be considered as a prisoner of war,
but must expect to be dealt with as
all offenderil are against all law, both
•Imman and divine.
"But not content with violating our
rights under the law' of nations at
home, they have 'ext9ded Oese inju.
!ries to us within othe; -jurisdictions
'The distinguished gentlemen whom,
with ,your.appreval at the last session
I commissioned to represent the Con
federacy at certain foreign Courts
have been recently seized by the
Captain of a United,„s,tates ship, on
board a British steamer, on, their voy
age from the neutral Spanish port of
Havana to England.
"The United States liiveithus claimed

and a clalin .on the part of ',the United

Acitizens'even of the United States, they
could not have been arrested, on a British
ship or on British soil, unless under the
express provisions of a treaty, and accord.
ing to forms therein provided for the ex
tradition of criminals."
Davis speaks of Faulkner as having
'been perfidiuosly arrested, and says :
"In conducting this war we have sought
-al aid .and proposed no alliances, offensive
or defensive abroad. We have asked for
a recognized place in the great family of
nations, put in doing so we demanded
nothing for which we dict not offer a fair
etiuivalent. The advaiiiages of inter
course are `mutual among nations, and in
seeking to establish diplornatiC relations
we were only endeavoring to eine tifbein
tercourseander the regnlatione df
Perhaps we had the night, if we had chos
ten tcrexercise it, to ask to know whether
the principal that blockades,-to be binding,
must . be nirectnal e so solemnly announced
by the great ptiwers pff.Europe at Paris,
is to be generally enfarced or applied on
ly to OrtieViie raffia."'
,Davis says he fat .tchused the wideime
Jo be collected which proved completely
the utter inefficiency of the proclaimed
bakaile Of the rn
Sciiith
.e - coast, shall'
dbI:CIA-1n be, la id tbefere such- govern
ments Word he means of being
heard. Batialthaagh we should - be bine
fitted," eiatitinuea, by the enktrcement
of this law, so solemnly declared by the
great powers. of ,Europe, we are not de
pendent on that• enforcement for the suc
cessful prosecution of the war. As long
as hostilities continue the Confederate
States will exhibit a steadily increasing
capacity to furnlsh their troops with food:
clothing and arms. If they should be
forced to forego many of the luxuries, and
some of thetconiforts Of life, they will at
least ha , e the consolation of knowing that
they are thus daily becoming more and
more independent of the rest of the
weld."
The message concludes as follows:
"While the war, which is waged to take
from as the right of self-government, can
never attain that end, it remains to he seen
how far it may work a revolution in this
industrial system ofthe world, which may
caw suiferingie other lands as well as
oar ,own.
"In the meantime we shad continue
This struggle, in humble dependence upon
Providence, tom whose searohing •scruti

hearts, a

and to whOse , rtile we - confidently
submit oar destinies—for the rest we shall
depend upon ourselves. Liberty is al
ways won where the unconquerable will

know the strength that is given byll rad

but of the rightetnistiess of our cause."
